Audiences down again, The Chaser’s Media Circus wins timeslot
On a night where audiences were again down across the board, with no show breaking the one million viewer mark, The ABC’s new Chaser Series, The Chaser’s Media Circus won in the 8.30pm timeslot, drawing an audience of 817,000.
The new Chaser format, which sees the news turned into a game show hosted by Craig Reucassel and ‘fact-checker’ Chas Licciardello, beat Seven’s Criminal Minds which was watched by 757,000 and Nine’s Big Brother which drew an audience of 560,000. Big Brother was the most popular show in the 16 to 39 demographic.

Seven did manage to win the night with an audience share of 20.7 per cent, with Nine just behind on a share of 19.6 per cent.
Go The Media Circus – brilliant!
Pairing Shaun Micallef + The Chaser Boys is a perfect match. Should have put them side by side ages ago.
Back in my day, we got audiences of over a million people.
